1. This applies not only to the PCB design industry but to various sectors as well. Low prices are not the ultimate strategy for succeeding in market competition; quality is especially crucial. The significance of quality is even more pronounced in the PCB design field.

2. To illustrate, when a typical customer engages in PCB design or reverse engineering, the investment cost is usually substantial. If the PCB design cost is minimal, it can adversely impact the accuracy of the replicated board files, which is critical for the project’s overall success.

3. This accuracy is a decisive factor for reliability, safety, and manufacturability. Consequently, many customers prefer to invest more in a reputable PCB design firm rather than opt for lower-priced alternatives.

4. If we quantify project success at 100%, PCB design’s importance accounts for 80%, underscoring the necessity of high-quality design.

5. As we enter the era of high-speed design, the quality of PCB design (circuit board design) directly influences product development quality, timelines, and costs, making it a pivotal component in the product design chain.

6. We assert that “the best design” equals “design quality” plus “cost control.”


A well-executed PCB design not only ensures optimal board performance but also maximizes cost savings for customers through streamlined process design. This facilitates easier debugging for hardware engineers, providing professional assurance for the product or design plan. Moreover, timely product launches and cost reductions enhance our company’s competitive edge, allowing us to quickly capture market share.

**Points to Note in PCB Anti-Deformation Design**

1. **What is PCB Deformation?**

PCB deformation, commonly referred to as warpage, significantly impacts soldering and functionality. This is particularly critical for communication products where single boards fit into sub-boxes with standard spacing. As panel sizes decrease, the gap between adjacent components narrows. If a PCB warps, it can disrupt the electronic processing during insertion and removal, potentially damaging components. Furthermore, PCB deformation severely affects the reliability of BGA components. Thus, controlling PCB deformation during and after the soldering process is crucial.

2. **PCB Anti-Deformation Design Requirements**

(1) The extent of PCB deformation is directly related to its size and thickness. Typically, the aspect ratio should be less than or equal to 2, and the width-to-thickness ratio should be no greater than 150.

(2) Multilayer rigid PCBs consist of copper foil, prepreg, and core material. To minimize deformation after pressing, the laminated structure must adhere to symmetrical design principles, ensuring that the thickness of the copper foil, the type and thickness of the medium, the distribution of graphics (circuit layers, plane layers), and pressing properties are symmetrical around the PCB’s centerline.

(3) For larger PCBs, anti-deformation stiffeners or backing boards (often referred to as fire-proof boards) should be incorporated. This serves as a mechanical reinforcement method.

(4) For structural components that may induce PCB deformation, such as CPU card holders, a backing plate should be designed to mitigate this risk.

**Why Choose a PCB Outsourcing Design Company**

Currently, many companies still rely on hardware engineers for PCB design and program development. In addition to these tasks, hardware engineers are tasked with more specialized work, which can delay product time-to-market. With advancements in high-speed digital technology, the demands for high-speed PCB design have intensified, encompassing areas like signal integrity simulation analysis, timing analysis, and EMC/EMI for both individual boards and complete systems. Moreover, design density is increasing, requiring proficiency in relevant design software. The serialization of these responsibilities can significantly prolong product development timelines.

In a competitive market landscape, core competitiveness is vital for a company’s survival. A company’s success hinges on enhancing its core strengths while strategically outsourcing peripheral tasks to partners. Such parallel workflows facilitate timely product launches and provide professional assurances for product designs.
